Edgewood Avenue’s New Italian Deli and Bar

October 22, 2008

The delicious cocktail at Noni’s.

My favorite street in Atlanta has always been Edgewood Avenue.  I love the brick buildings, the historical look of it, and I don’t know, I just love it.  So, there are a lot of new restaurants / shops popping up all over the place and I promise to write about each one.  In the meantime, “Girl’s Night” was held at Noni’s on Edgewood this past Monday night and we had a great meal and fabulous service…

We all started off with cocktails (except Cille who is knocked up and expecting in January I believe) and the liquor selection was great -good gin and vodka selections.  Our waitress, Sarah- with an “h,” was fabulous, flirty to perfection, and very knowledgeable about everything on the menu.  Sarah told us all about the antipasti dishes and pastas in great detail and then let us know what we should get.  We did not argue.

We started with the three salads on the menu - the caesar, the caprese, and the arugula and we got the Cannellini Bean puree which was excellent.  The caprese was exceptional, the caesar was grand and I don’t like arugula so someone else will have to comment about that.

My favorite main dish was my own - which rarely happens!  I got the pancetta cream over farfalle pasta with a side of fennel sausage.  The sausage was so not needed, but was excellent in taste.  The dish was huge and could be split between two people.  Cilli got the spicy bolognese with the famous meatballs (damn, girl) and I can’t remember what pasta was under it.  Hers was magnificent as well but the meatballs really made the difference on that dish.  Alley and Elizabeth split the chicken and eggplant parmesan and it was very nice and not too heavy.  My least favorite was Lea’s dish.  (Sorry Lea but I think she would say the same thing.)  Her lemon anchovy over the homemade tagliatelle was just too bland.   It tasted , well, like lemon and anchovy, but I guess I thought it would “pop” a little more.

Cille’s gorgeous meatball dish.

All dishes are very reasonably priced -around 10$ to 14$ and if you go, you must get the tiramisu for desert.  Yum yum.  We enjoyed our girl’s night there and I will certainly be going back! Oh, by the way, ask for Sarah and I am sure she will take good care of you.
